Significant funds have been spent to expand and diversify operations at John Dickinson & Co. Limited.
In 2020, the company acquired 4.5 acres of derelict e TecK lands and buildings and have made an investment to set up a plant on the site.
The company reconstructed three of the four buildings and fully automated tissue converting machinery. This increased output by over 150%.
The excess capacity is currently being used to export to new markets inclusive of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Central America and the USA.
Trade and Industry Minister, Paula Gopee-Scoon, toured the facility on Friday.
